Aminoacylated tmRNA from Escherichia coli interacts with prokaryotic elongation factor Tu.
Eubacterial tmRNAs (10Sa RNAs) are unique because they function, at least in Escherichia coli, both as tRNA and mRNA (for a review, see Muto et al+, 1998)+ These ;360 6 40-nt-long RNAs are charged with alanine at their 39 ends by alanyl-tRNA synthetases or AlaRS (Komine et al+, 1994; Ushida et al+, 1994)+ Alanylation occurs thanks to the presence of the equivalent of the G3-U70 pair, the major ...
متن کاملInteraction of mitochondrial elongation factor Tu with aminoacyl-tRNA and elongation factor Ts.
Elongation factor (EF) Tu promotes the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) to the acceptor site of the ribosome. This process requires the formation of a ternary complex (EF-Tu.GTP.aa-tRNA). EF-Tu is released from the ribosome as an EF-Tu.GDP complex. Exchange of GDP for GTP is carried out through the formation of a complex with EF-Ts (EF-Tu.Ts). Mammalian mitochondrial EF-Tu (EF-Tu(mt)) differ...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of Mycobacterium leprae elongation factor (EF-Tu) gene.
The elongation factor EF-Tu is essential in bacterial translation and has sequences which are highly conserved even in phylogenetically distant bacteria. This allowed us to show that Gram negative bacteria had two copies of the tuf gene whereas most Gram positive bacteria including Mycobacteria had one copy of this gene (1). The agent of leprosy, Mycobacterium leprae, has been isolated from nat...
متن کاملPrimary structure of elongation factor Tu from Escherichia coli.
The amino acid sequence of elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) from Escherichia coli has been determined. EF-Tu is a single-chain polypeptide composed of 393 amino acids (Mr 43,225 for the species bearing COOH-terminal serine). The NH2-terminal serine is acetylated, and lysine-56 is partially methylated. The sites of facile tryptic cleavage are at arginines 44 and 58 and at lysine-263. The cysteinyl r...
متن کاملDoc toxin is a kinase that inactivates elongation factor Tu.
The Doc toxin from bacteriophage P1 (of the phd-doc toxin-antitoxin system) has served as a model for the family of Doc toxins, many of which are harbored in the genomes of pathogens. We have shown previously that the mode of action of this toxin is distinct from the majority derived from toxin-antitoxin systems: it does not cleave RNA; in fact P1 Doc expression leads to mRNA stabilization. How...
